When I had the springs installed the alignment specs weren't terrible. Like -2.3 in the rear and -1.8 up front so unless you are driving crazy miles per day like I am tire wear shouldn't be that much of an issue. And as for toe I don't think anything moved at all.

So is SPL lock out kit the same as spc toe bolts?

Negative ghost rider. The lockout kit makes sure the specs don't budge, the toe boots adjust toe. Complety different.

So do I also need the lock out kit on top of the toe bolts and the camber arms?

Ok this is the only thread I can find on camber kits,

here we go..

I'm looking into camber kit for my Z and everyone says SPL are the best and the way to go. I might track the car but for now its a fun street car. That being said people on here said there is about a $100.00 difference between the SPL and SPC brands... I call B.S. flag on the play..

The prices I have found..

SPC
92.00 Rear
400.00 front

SPL
800.00 front
300 Rear...

Can someone please explain this to me????

For sure spend the extra $ for the rear. I hear you on the cost of the fronts, I really like the new Z1 front arms. I haven't got a set yet but plan to get the track version at some point.
I tried going the cheaper route, car drove like my 96 beater Ranger. I took the junk off, sent it back, got a credit towards sway bars, put SPL on the back (from Z1) and OEM back on the front...back to normal. 2cents

You get what you paid for. With the Z1 upper control arms. You have to remove them to make adjustments. With the SPL's. You don't. To adjust the SPL's. Loosen the pinch bolts from under the Z. Stick a socket with a long extension over the tire. Camber and caster adjusted. With the Z1. Remove tire, pop the upper ball off the spindle, turn ball joint to adjust for camber. To do camber and caster. Remove arm from car, turn the bushings or bearings.

Every time I have had my alignment done and it's done at the same shop each time the tech says I just love front arms, they are bullet proof and so easy to adjust.
